From D-Day until the German surrender, the narrative details the day-to-day activities of the Regiment. Personal accounts of individual actions and excerpts from Squadron diaries are included as annexes, as well as the Roll of Honour and lists of awards presented to Regimental personnel.

Illustrated with 16 pages of photographs plus maps and diagrams of operations in France, Belgium, Holland and Germany.
